Creative Processing Defined: Activating your creative mind to process a certain intention.

CREATIVE PROCESSING CHALLENGE: HOPE

Step 1: Write down your intention:

• The purpose of [JOURNALING OR CREATING HOWEVER YOU WANT TO CREATE] is to process my [HOPE] and shift from discouragement to belief in what's possible.

• When we approach creative processing with intention, we open ourselves up to real transformation.

Step 2: Engage your creative mind (aka-CREATE) while thinking through or writing down answers to these prompts:

Prompt 1: Write about a time you felt hopeless.

Ask yourself…

• What helped you get through?

Prompt 2: Identify one area where you need more hope.

Ask yourself…

• What’s one area you’re choosing to hope in today?

Prompt 3: Choose to move forward with expectation.

Ask yourself…

• What’s one small step you can take to nurture hope this week?

• Write a letter to your future self about what you’re hoping for—and how you’re going to hold on.

Step 3: Reflect.

• What did that season of hopelessness teach you?

• Hope isn’t passive—it’s something we build.

• What’s one area you’re believing for breakthrough in?
